1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections can pose a significant risk following pediatric liver transplantations. This study aimed to identify risk factors for CRE infections and develop prediction models for pediatric recipients.

methodsThis study enrolled pediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation between 2017 and 2023. Risk factors for CRE infection were identified using logistic regression analysis. Prediction models were constructed using a training cohort and validated using internal and external validation cohorts. Predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve (AUC).

resultsCRE intestinal colonization before liver transplantation, bile or intestinal leakage and respiratory ribonucleic acid virus infections were independent risk factors for CRE infection after pediatric liver transplantation. Our prediction model comprising all three factors achieved AUC values of 0.724 and 0.738 in the training and internal validation cohorts, respectively. The AUC of an additional model constructed using CRE intestinal colonization and bile or intestinal leakage achieved 0.738 and 0.828 in the internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. Two nomograms were constructed.

conclusionsBoth nomograms accurately predicted CRE infection after liver transplantation. They can facilitate the adoption of essential protective measures in pediatric liver transplant recipients.
